Yes, THAT Jackie

This world of quilt blogging has been filled with opportunities.

When I first started writing, one of the first people to leave me a comment was Jackie Kunkel of Canton Village Quilt Works.Yes, THAT Jackie, who we all know to be a very talented and accomplished lady.

Even though she lives in Connecticut, and I live out west, our friendship has grown over the years.

That is why I was thrilled when the opportunity arose where we both were in Phoenix on the same day.

We met for lunch, and of course yabbered non stop about our love of quilting.I was especially curious to learn how Jackie manages to be involved in so many areas of the business.

She is happily married, with two teenage children still at home, and yet accomplishes so much.

Small world - although I have never met Jackie I have been chatting with her through e mails for several years. She is so talented. Would love a chance to some day meet up with so many of you quilters out there.Karenhttp://karensquilting.com/blog/

That is so fun! Jackie always leaves the nicest comments - I feel like she's an old, encouraging friend, even though I've never met her. That is so great that you got together. I'm looking forward to seeing you both in SLC in May!

It was so fun to finally meet you too, Nedra!! It was like we have known each other for years. Well, we have!! I wish we would have had more time, but we will at Market and hopefully again in Phoenix too. I will always make sure that when I am there, you get an e-mail from me before I go!! By the way, thank you for such kind words, you are truly a sweetheart and remarkable woman yourself!!
